Lag

[nanoman]

Hi

I get lag during siege battle in really big cities, but on field battles its fine. I don't know what to do.

P4 3.2ghz
1.5 G pc3200
6800xt 256mb agp

Res: 1280x768
Unit detail=med
building detail=low
aa=off
unit size=large
Bloom on
grass=low
veg=med
effects=med
shadows=off

I tried turning off bloom and lowering the resolution, but I notice not performance gain at all so I leave it how it is.

Try unit size = normal, should make a difference. And bloom should make a difference too.

Get your virtual memory higher. Try with anysotropic 2x and shader version 1.
May be you miss some characteristics such as changes of color of armors and skins when killing a unit (turns on red, dark if burned or dirty) but belive me, you won't miss that after trying.
Forgot: everyting on low and medium but units. Anyway, shader version 1 will do it for you.
